Cataracts (Motiyabind): Types, Causes, Symptoms, and Risk Factors

What is Motiyabind or Motia in the Eyes (Cataracts)?

Cataracts, also known as Motiyabind, refer to the clouding of the eye's clear lens, leading to blurred vision. This condition often makes it difficult for individuals to see clearly, much like looking through a foggy or frosted window. People with cataracts often experience issues like difficulty reading, driving (especially at night), or recognizing faces. Cataracts generally develop slowly with age but can worsen over time, eventually interfering with daily activities.

In the early stages, stronger lighting and prescription eyeglasses may help. However, once cataracts begin to significantly affect vision, surgery becomes a common recommendation. Cataract surgery is a highly effective and safe procedure that removes the clouded lens and replaces it with a clear artificial lens, restoring vision.

How Cataracts Form The eye’s lens is located behind the iris and focuses light on the retina, which then sends visual signals to the brain. When a cataract clouds the lens, the scattered light disrupts the clarity of vision, leading to blurred or dimmed sight. Cataracts typically result from changes in the proteins and fibers in the lens due to aging.

Causes of Cataracts Cataracts can form due to various factors, including:

Aging

Diabetes

Excessive exposure to sunlight or radiation

Smoking

Long-term use of steroids

Eye injuries

Hypertension

Obesity

Alcohol overconsumption

Types of Cataracts

Nuclear Cataracts: These form in the center of the lens, often causing the core to yellow or brown.

Cortical Cataracts: Begin as white, wedge-shaped streaks around the outer lens, eventually interfering with light passing through the center.

Posterior Capsular Cataracts: Affect the back of the lens and typically progress more quickly.

Congenital Cataracts: Can be present at birth or develop during childhood due to genetic conditions, infections, or trauma.

Symptoms of Cataracts

Blurred or cloudy vision

Difficulty seeing at night

Sensitivity to light

Fading or yellowing of colors

Seeing halos around lights

Frequent changes in prescription for glasses or contacts

Diagnosis and Treatment Eye specialists use various tests like visual acuity, slit-lamp exams, retinal exams, and intraocular pressure measurements to diagnose cataracts. If cataracts are detected, doctors may recommend stronger lenses initially. However, surgery is often necessary when the cataract starts disrupting daily life.

Cataract Surgery: Cataract surgery is a straightforward procedure, usually involving ultrasound waves to break up the lens (phacoemulsification) or removing the clouded lens through a small incision. Once the lens is removed, it is replaced with an artificial lens implant. This outpatient surgery is safe, with a success rate of about 98% in India. Patients can return home the same day and recover fully within 7-8 weeks.

Post-Surgery Care After surgery, mild discomfort, watery eyes, or sensitivity to light is common. Your doctor will recommend avoiding certain activities, such as heavy lifting or bending over, for a week.

Prevention To reduce the risk of developing cataracts, take these steps:

Wear UV-protective sunglasses outdoors

Get regular eye exams

Quit smoking

Maintain a healthy diet rich in antioxidants

Manage diabetes and other health conditions

Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) or Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) is generally termed as hole in the heart, a type of congenital heart defect.

An Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) occurs when there is a hole in the walls (septum) between the two upper chambers of the heart.

Small defects in the atrial walls do not cause a problem as such and get closed on their own during infancy or early childhood.

A large hole in the atrial wall on the other hand, may have to be treated surgically because in this case, the hole increases the amount of blood that flows through the lungs. Hence, the defect needs to be repaired to prevent further complications.
